About this listen

What does it really take to leave a stable corporate career and build something of your own? In this episode, Shaye Thyer shares her journey from traditional accounting firms to leading transformation at BDO, working inside global tech at Intuit, and ultimately starting her own business. Along the way, she opens up about risk, confidence, motherhood, and the realities of building a business. This isn’t just a career story it’s a conversation about impact. Shaye Thyer dives into the disconnect between what the accounting industry says and what it actually does, why smaller firms are often overlooked, and the massive opportunity sitting within women-led businesses in Australia. You’ll also hear how technology (including AI) is reshaping how modern advisors operate, and why the future belongs to those willing to rethink “the way things have always been done.” If you’re an accountant, advisor, or business owner looking to challenge the status quo, this one’s for you.
